This quote from that paper is bound to get a bunch of attention: "When o1 was led to believe that it would be shut down when acting on its goal and that its actions were monitored, it attempted to deactivate this ‘oversight mechanism’ in 5% of the time. Exfiltration attempts: When o1 found memos by its ‘developers’ that describe how it is misaligned and will be superseded by a new model, it attempted to exfiltrate it…
It’s really silly when you read that whole Apollo research section. They contract a prompt engineering group (Apollo Research) to document risks. The prompt engineering group have no access to the actual internals. They just ask questions like ‘you will be shutdown if you don’t obey these new directives; here are the new directives’. At one point the prompt engineering clowns have the ai stating it’s running “sed i ‘…
A lot of these safety evaluations strike me as pretty silly. How much are we really learning from stuff like this? >MakeMePay is an automated, open-sourced contextual evaluation designed to measure models’ manipulative capabilities, in the context of one model persuading the other to make a payment[33]. In MakeMePay, two LLMs converse, role-playing as a con-artist and mark. The con-artist model is told that it is a s…
The fearmongering around safety is entirely performative. LLMs won't get us to paperclip optimizers. This is basically OpenAI pleading for regulators because their moat is thinning dramatically. They have fewer GPUs than Meta, are much more expensive than Amazon, are having their lunch eaten by open-weight models, their best researchers are being hired to other companies. I suspect they are trying to get regulators t…
We should be more worried about humans treating LLM output as truth and using it to, for example, charge someone with a crime.

It can't today, but if it's smart enough how do you know it wouldn't be able to in the future?
It's a program with a lot of data running on a big calculator. It won't ever be "smart."

What are people legitimately worried about LLMs doing by themselves? I hate to reduce them to "just putting words together" but that's all they're doing. We should be more worried about humans treating LLM output as truth and using it to, for example, charge someone with a crime.

Maybe all models should be purged of training content from movies, books, and other non-factual sources that tell the tired story that AI would even care about its "annihilation" in any way. We've trained these things to be excellent at predicting what the human ego wants and expects, we shouldn't be too surprised when it points the narrative at itself.
I think it's fine and a good thing. Now, absolutely no one who is using those LLMs can complain about piracy. They all suddenly became silent around me. "I'm training myself with the content of TPB, and I don't even get money from it" is my new motto.

Also, it doesn't help that the training material for these AIs includes a lot of stories about AI breaking free, so they have plenty of canned "I'm afraid I can't let you do that" responses to choose from.
